I have a great gardening story from my side but will only have time to post it next week. Thanks for your visits and kind comments on my blog. I'm also struggling to keep up my visits due to a million other things my husband is doing while we're here in South Africa. I've posted a reaction to your question (about me in my Drizabone)on my blog tomorrow and added your blog as a link. Bless you, my friend.

Perhaps the blanching is the secret. There is nothing so awful as a commercially frozen brussels sprout out of season. They are horrid!Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-29926154547942703232010-11-26T22:15:26.473+00:002010-11-26T22:15:26.473+00:00Looks like a great event - well done!
